Immigration Consultations: What They Are and How to Prepare

Immigration rules are detailed, and they change. Before you spend money on an application, it helps to talk your situation through with someone who knows the system. That is what a consultation is for.

What an immigration consultation is

A consultation is a pre-paid, one-to-one conversation with an immigration practitioner. It is held by phone or video call, so you can join from anywhere in the UK. You explain your circumstances, ask your questions and leave with a clearer understanding of the routes that may be open to you and the sensible next steps to consider.

A consultation is a conversation about your situation. It is not a guarantee of any outcome, and it is not a substitute for a full application service.

Who a consultation can help

• People thinking about a visa or an extension and unsure which route fits their circumstances

• Families planning a move or a reunion

• Anyone who has had a refusal and wants to understand their options

• People approaching settlement or citizenship who want to check their position first

• Employers and sponsors with questions about their responsibilities

What to bring

• Your passport or travel document, and any current visa or permit

• Any letters or decisions from the Home Office

• A short timeline of your time in the UK and any key dates

• A list of the questions you most want answered

• Details of anyone else your situation affects, such as a partner or children

Do not worry if you cannot find everything. Bring what you have, and we will work from there.

How to book

Booking is simple. Choose a time that suits you, complete the short intake questions about your situation and pay in advance to confirm your place. Evening and weekend consultations are available, which suits people who work during the day. Use the booking option on this website to get started.
